The Fourth Ta'veren Asks Billy Zane If He Is Reprising His Wheel of Time Role!
What Billy Zane responded with was astounding! He gave a brief overview of how he ended up being involved, but then confirmed that he will be reprising his role and will be in Season Two of the Amazon Prime Wheel of Time series! This has not been announced by anyone else (at least as of September 2019) and has not been confirmed by Amazon WoT up to this point either.
Listen as Marc and I break down what that means and which version of Ishamael he could be playing?
Billy Zane At FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention 2019 - Wheel of Time
At a Billy Zane panel at FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention on Sept 6th, 2019, I asked Billy Zane about his Winter Dragon performance and he responded that he was in talks to reprise his role as Ishamael, or is it Elan Morin Tedronai?
A follow up question asked by Michael Smith (@msmith159 on Twitter) and he again reiterated his involvement. Personally, I'd like to see Billy Zane involved in some form as an actor in the Wheel of Time show, but that remains to be seen.
For what it's worth, Rafe Judkins has disputed the claim that Billy Zane will be reprising his role as Ishamael back in Dec 2018. But we still wanted to put this out there so that it can be known we aren't making this up. And who knows, maybe it was true at the time, but things can change quickly in Hollywood.
